"Start With Yourself, Not Your Cerulean Sweater": Doctors Behaving Badly, Travel Escapades & Millennial Work Ethic Lessons

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2561640/fan_mail/new] Dr. JJ (Psychiatrist) and Dr. Domi (Pediatric Anesthesiologist & recovering fashionista) are back after a vacation hiatus with hot takes on medicine, pop culture, travel, the Devil Wears Prada 2 movie review and the Emma Grede hustle culture debate. Buckle up.  0:00 — Intro & Welcome Back 0:46 — **🩺 Doctors Behaving Badly:** A Florida surgeon removed the wrong organ (liver instead of spleen), killed a patient, lost his license, and was later arrested… driving for Uber/Lyft.

Is It Perimenopause or Is It Just America? Yes.

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2561640/fan_mail/new] Dr. JJ and Dr. Domi try to figure out whether their brains are melting from perimenopause, post COVID fog, or the general psychological damage of reading the news in 2026. They swap midlife horror stories; frozen shoulder, mysterious body changes, and the sudden need to train like an athlete just to survive “minor” procedures. They debate hormone therapy (including the very real risks) and talk about hunting down a menopause/perimenopause specialist before the “cliffy” symptoms get worse. Along the way they cite Naomi Watts and Halle Berry’s menopause advocacy, recap The Pitt and recommend the unsettling Hulu film The Anniversary. 00:00 Show Intro Disclaimer 00:38 Weekly Check In 01:21 News Weather Whiplash 03:24 Electric Snow Shovel Hack 06:54 Perimenopause Basics 09:24 Frozen Shoulder Connection 13:22 Midlife Psychosis Risk 14:32 Brain Fog And Covid 19:09 Aging Looks Body Changes 22:05 Fitness For Surgery Prep 24:46 Use It Before You Lose It 26:13 Perimenopause Care Plan 26:50 Hormones and Specialists 29:29 Celeb Menopause Talk 32:03 The Pit Miscarriage Story 33:59 Hulu Thriller Pick 38:34 Hormone Risks in ER 40:06 Rants and Raves 43:43 Politics and TSA Chaos 45:54 Discharge Summary Please Rate, Review & Subscribe!
